Partners Dogs Foundation

Choose the campaign your gift powers.

Each active campaign below funds a specific part of the Foundation's work: a rehabilitation case, a professional's education, a research project, or a fund the Foundation directs where the need is greatest. Give directly to the one that matches what you want to support.

Quick answer

What is a Foundation campaign?

A campaign is a focused fundraising effort tied to one Foundation fund. Giving directly to a campaign designates your gift the way that campaign describes, rather than leaving it unrestricted. A campaign marked funded or closed is no longer raising toward that specific goal; you can still support the Foundation's ongoing work through Donate.

Research campaigns

Each research campaign funds a first phase of a proposed study. Give any amount from the funding ladder on that campaign's page, and watch the phase goal move as gifts arrive.

Active

The Hidden Pain Project

Aggression, fear, avoidance, and sudden training regression may sometimes signal physical pain rather than a behavior problem. This research investigates how often undiagnosed pain drives behavior concerns and builds practical screening tools for families, trainers, and veterinarians.

The Confident Puppy Project

Families and breeders get conflicting advice about puppy socialization: what to expose puppies to, how fast, and when it becomes too much. This research studies which humane socialization methods most reliably produce adaptable, resilient adult dogs.

The Canine Sleep and Learning Project

Training programs track cues, repetitions, and technique closely, but far less attention goes to what happens after a lesson ends. This research studies how sleep quality and rest timing shape memory, emotional regulation, and long-term training success.

The Dog Behavior Genome and Life Experience Project

A dog's behavior cannot be explained by breed, genetics, training, or life experience alone. This global research project studies how biology, genealogy, health, environment, and training interact to shape each dog's individual behavior.
